Advanced Drone System for FiveM / Multiple Features & Commands

Advanced Drone System for FiveM / Multiple Features & Commands

A deployable drone resource for FiveM. Supports Qbox, QBCore (should do) and ESX (running ox/ox_inventory etc) frameworks. Players can deploy a personal drone that follows them, provides features like healing, guard mode and can be flown manually in FPV mode.

NOTE: THIS WILL NOT RUN ON A DEFAULT ESX SERVER – You must have ESX running off ox_inventory and the other ox resources that needs that, more info here: https://coxdocs.dev/ox_inventory/Frameworks/esx

Features

• Deploy & Recall — Pull out your drone with a kneel animation. The drone spawns on the ground in front of you and lifts off to your shoulder. Pack it away the same way.
• Shoulder Follow — When deployed, the drone hovers at your left shoulder and follows you smoothly with a natural bob and heading delay.
• FPV Control — Take manual control of the drone in first-person view. Fly freely up to a configurable range before signal is lost.
• Healing Mode — Activate healing to have the drone restore health to all players within a configurable radius. Shows a pulsing green AOE marker.
• Drone Storage — Each drone has its own persistent stash inventory. Store items, batteries and equipment. Drone items cannot be placed inside the stash.
• Battery System — The drone requires a drone_battery in its stash to operate. Battery drains over time. When depleted the drone lands and powers down until a new battery is inserted.
• Damage System — The drone can be shot down. Health degrades with hits and is displayed on each strike. Configurable max health.
• Destruction & Recovery — When destroyed the drone swaps to a wrecked model and falls to the ground. Storage remains accessible for a configurable time before being cleared.
• Battery Removal — Removing the battery mid-flight causes the drone to drop and power down. Reinserting a battery brings it back to life automatically.
• Unique Serial Numbers — Each drone is assigned a unique serial DRN-XXXXXX on first use, stored in item metadata. Visible in your inventory.
• Collision Detection — FPV control includes raycast-based collision detection to prevent flying through walls and terrain.
• Spotlight — A toggleable front-mounted spotlight, controllable from the target menu or via L in FPV mode. Angle, colour, brightness, distance and cone width are all configurable.
• Native GTA Audio — Uses GTA’s built-in DLC_BTL_Drone_Sounds audio bank. No external sound files required.
• Fully Configurable — All behaviour, offsets, speeds, battery drain, healing settings, spotlight settings, Job restrictions and more are in a single config.lua.
